Wha? What day is it? We’re still coming out of the Record Store Day haze but we’re almost back into the game. We can’t even sum up this week’s new releases and all of the cool stuff we’ve gotten SINCE Record Store Day, so just take a look at this list and we’ll see ya soon!

HEY YOU. Are you still reeling from the CHIRP record fair? Thought you had some breathing room before RECORD STORE DAY this coming Saturday?

You thought wrong.

This is one of the biggest new release weeks yet in 2013! New albums from Yeah Yeah Yeah’s, The Thermals, Ghost, Thee Oh Sees, Iron & Wine, Flaming Lips, Devil, Barn Owl, Futurebirds, Ghostface Killah and the return of local guys Fall Out Boy. Plus other cool stuff like a new Disappears 12″, vinyl for the new James Blake, a reissue of George Brigman’s Jungle Rot alongside a reissue of the first album from the band Jungle Rot (whaaaa?!), a domestic release of Jessie Ware’s Devotion, Kings of Leon vinyl reissues and a bunch of cool compilations, including a new release from Soul Jazz featuring bizarro Chicago House cuts. Trust us, you need it! Just a few days until Record Store Day . . . see you soon!

Do you like good music? We have it! New albums from Kurt Vile (including a limited version of the vinyl), James Blake, The Knife, Terror, British Sea Power and Dawes! Plus other sweet, sweet candy like two limited singles from Paul Nice, the newest import reissues of Earache Records vinyl (Entombed and Terrorizer), two – count ’em – TWO new Grateful Dead DVD’s, Alkaline Trio vinyl and new soundtracks from Cliff Martinez and Mike Patton! One more insane new release week and then it’s RECORD STORE DAY!

None of what you’re about to read is an April Fool’s joke. No sir/ma’am. First and (Vas) foremost, the new Implodes album is out on Kranky. We’re psyched for our co-workers, of whom this band is (mostly) comprised. Other than that, not much going on except for new albums from Black Angels, Bleached, Besnard Lakes, Tyler, the Creator, Jello Biafra, Bonobo, Hypocrisy, Wire, Charles Bradley, Warbeast and one of the heaviest albums of 2013 (in our opinion), Nails’ Abandon All Life. Miscellany abounds, as we also have the Rolling Stones’ mega-deluxe Get Yer Ya-Ya’s Out, vinyl for the latest David Bowie and Suffocation albums, a new 7″ from Guided By Voices (natch), the Touche Amore/Casket Lottery split 7″ and last but not least, reissues from the Body, Mad Season and Angel Olsen. Now . . . GIT IN HERE!

Hey folks! This week is a big-little release week, with new albums from heavy-hitters like The Strokes, Wavves, Depeche Mode and – of course – Wormed. We’ve also got Superdrag’s Regretfully Yours on vinyl for the first time, Blu’s No York CD, the final Raw Nerve 7″, a Hum LP reissue and tons more! Get to the Reckless closest to you RIGHT NOW. We’ll be here!

Greetings! What a doozy of a release week! New albums from Justin Timberlake, Clutch, Low, Purling Hiss, Inter Arma, Palma Violets, KEN Mode, Marnie Stern, Ensemble Pearl and Kenosha’s own JUNGLE ROT. We’ve also got remarkable reissues from Swamp Dogg, Witch and Alice Cooper, the new My Bloody Valentine on CD and LP, a new Dinosaur Jr. 7″, How to Destroy Angels vinyl, a Miles Davis DVD (or blu-ray), Brittany Howard & Ruby Amanfu Third Man single and a Monotonix flexi! HAD ENOUGH? NEVER. There’s plenty more where that came from! See you soon!

Hello! Not a huge new release week after last week’s mega-week, volume-wise, but we still have plenty of cool stuff! New albums from David Bowie (vinyl supposedly out 3/26, sorry), the My Bloody Valentine LP (CDs incoming), Devendra Banhart, Off With Their Heads, Fuck the Facts, William Tyler (Lambchop), Eric Clapton, Lady (on Now Again) and a new Eccentric Soul compilation from Numero Group! Reissues? We have those, too! Two from Dead Moon, Casino vs. Japan (also on Numero Group), Allen Ginsberg, Lee Hazlewood and a very cool version of Nas’ classic Illmatic! Not enough? We also have the Smoking Popes’ Born to Quit on LP for the first time, a Black Keys/RZA 7″ and every version you could possibly want of Sound City: Real to Reel, Dave Grohl’s new documentary and soundtrack! See you soon!

It’s official. March is in like a lion with all of these great new releases! Don’t let the predicted snowfall stop you from picking up the new records from Youth Lagoon, The Men, Chealsea Light Moving, Kate Nash, Autechre, Rotting Christ, Demigodz or Cave Singers. On the reissue tip, we’ve got Apple & the Three Oranges and Stark Reality on Now Again Records, mono Hendrix vinyl, Big Boys and Swamp Dogg. In the “other” category, we’ve got a new Sigur Ros DVD, vinyl for the newest Converge (FINALLY), a few very cool compilations, a new Braid 7″ and a button re-up on the dismembered and beheaded mannequin at the Wicker Park store. Yes, there’s Danzig buttons. See you soon!

Not a huge list this week, but we’ve got plenty of great new stuff as always! New albums from Atoms for Peace, Acteurs (members of Disappears and White/Light), Deathfix (with Brendan Canty of Fugazi), Johnny Marr and Ill Bill. Reissues from Witch, Quicksand, Search Party and Vera Sienra. Plus a new 7″ from Chicago’s own Heavy Times, the Czarface album (Inspectah Deck, 7L & Esoteric) and some hot-as-the-sun restocks! See you soon!
